ing?" And 1t was decided in the mega
tive-yeas, So; nays, 100.
Mr.. Hammond Of Georgia called up
the conference report upon the anti-Mor-
mon bill
Mr.. Benz EFT of North Carolina spoke
against the adoption of the report.
Mr.. Eden of Illinois criticised the bill.
Mr.. Hammond of Georgia defended the
conference report. The conference re
port was then agreed to-geas, POP; nays,
40.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Scott,
Lanhsm and FELTON, as conferees on the
trade dollar DILL.
The House then, in spite of the opposi-
ton of Mes5rs. O'Neil of Missouri and
Grain of Texas, who desired to get up
the letter carrier bill, went into commit
tee of the whole on the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill. In order to
simplify and facilitate the cOnsid-
Grafton of the bill, MIR. Belmont of
New York offered substitute
for so much of the bill as
had not already been disposed of. This
substitute is framed so as to avoid points
of order which would operate against the
original bill in the matter of the re-classi-
ticatlon of the consular service. The eX-
listing classification is retained, thus cut
ting of the proposed increase of salaries.
The provision for the appointment of two
inspectors of Consulates is also omitted
from the substitute, and the appropria-
tion for the contingent expenses OF the
consulstes is reduced from $4,000 to
$780, 600. The Substitute was agreed TO.
The bill as amended was reported TO the
House.
Mr.. Reed OF Maine said that by reason
of the numerous points of order made
against the Till very many consuls had
been deprived of their salaries.
Mr.. Belmont stated no consulS had
been deprived of their salaries, but in
several cases salaries had been reduced.
The change in rules he thought to be
absolutely necessary. 1t was unfair to
the Senate that it should be constantly
compelled to correct the failure of the
House to make proper appropriations.
The bill as amended was passed.
Mr.. Randall, from the committee on
appropriations, reported back the sundry
civil appropriation bill with the Senate
amendments, recommending concurrence
in twenty-five of those amendments and
non-conc urrence in 236 amendments. In
response to question by Mr. Reed, Mr..
Randall stated that the chief points in
the controversy were relative 10 the ap-
preparation for a coast survey, the sea
mans retreat in New York and Yellow
stone Park. The Republicans demanded
the reading of the amendments seriatim.
Mr.. GCff Of West Virginia moved con-
currence in the amendment approprlating
$5940 for public building at Clarksburg,
w. Va, ana on being voted down raised
d point of no'quorum.
Pending action the House adjourned.

The sale Of reserved seats for Lizzie
Evans' engagement at the Opera House
Monday is now in progress at Banners
music store. The Pittsburgh Leader says:
Miss Lizzie Evans is much better actress
than when here last, and her singing has
improved until now she may be classed
among the best in her line on the stage,
During the action Of the play several
songs are sung by the different members
OF the company, which were greeted with
hearty applause, notably those of Miss
Evans, Mr.. Steve Corey and the Lewis
Quartette Of this city, who had to repeat
their aongs several timeB. One OF the
neatest things in the play is whom Mics
Evans is at the piano. She introduces an
entirely new idea on the stage and made
quite hit, and one Of the best bits of act
ing is where she declares her love for
Jack, and discovering Romaine's pres.
ence, she gives one look and says, "Oh, ia
it you :" The words mean nothing, but
the tone and action interpret lifetime of
meaning. Mr.. SwRrtx, the author, may
be congratulated on his play, and Miss
Evans on her Interpretation. .:FlY
